Mythology is a rich source of inspiration for my art. What fascinates me is the universal, timeless nature of its themes. The people and gods it portrays, their conflicts and ways of behaving, are as recognisable today as they were in the ancient myths.

I am currently working on a series of etchings inspired by ancient mythology. These stories explore how the world came into being and how it continues to change: everything is in a constant state of becoming. They tell us how living creatures, rocks, rivers, stars and much else came to exist. They also portray human lives that still resonate with us today. For example, I see Odysseus on his journey as an image of the modern individual, continually swept along by a flood of choices and possibilities while searching for a sense of home and fulfilment.
